African Americans were counted as 3 persons of the state for every 5 persons. This was so the states had more population and therefore more representatives.

The Statement accurate about three-fifths compromise is that three out of every five African Americans were counted as residents of the nation.

Further Explanations:

Three-Fifths Compromise was a pronouncement that discussed the representation of the slaves while determining the census so as to conclude the tax legislative representation. The argument was whether slaves should be totaled in the populace figures or not. The conclusion of the compromise was that three out of five slaves were counted as citizens and a third more seat was allotted to Southern States in the Congress.

The compromise was drafted by James Wilson and was then proposed in the convention on 11th June 1787 by Charles Pinckney. Prior to this, representation in the House as per the State’s population was already accepted but the compromise increases the representation of the slaves. Though after the demise of Reconstruction-era in 1877 the former slaves took advantage of the clauses of the compromise and obtained the benefit of representation in the legislature. The draft granted Southerners more voting power and inflated the number of Southern Democrats in the legislature.

How did dogs play a role in the Atlantic Slave Trade?

sergeinik [125]

Dogs played important roles in the Atlantic slave Trade because they helped capture slaves in Africa and were used to run slaves down similarly to how dogs are still being used today in the mountains to hunt down and keep sheep at bay. This is the similarity between the two.

What role did religion play in the lives of many enslaved people?

Rainbow [258]

Religion played a deep role in the lives of Slaves during the start of the 1740’s. It brought blacks and whites together to share their religion and join together in worshiping God. Religious Revival began in 1740 called the Great Awakening which swept through the North and South all through the 1780’s. There is no doubt that Religion was a major breakthrough in reminded people that slavery was not compatible with Christianity, an argument that a Quaker John Woolman made in his argument against slavery. The Great Awakening Revival did not generally challenge slavery, but was able to get people from both races to join together and enjoy their religion.
